A White ethnostate is a proposed type of state in which residence or citizenship would be limited to Whites, and non-Whites and any other groups not seen as White would be excluded from citizenship. Native populations would also be excluded from citizenship, such as the indigenous peoples of the United States.

In the United States, proposals for the establishment of such a state are advanced by White supremacist and White separatist factions such as Ku Klux Klansmen and Neo-Nazis. Some of these factions claim that a certain part of the country should have a White majority and other factions claim that the entire country should have a White majority.^[1]^[2]

Proposed White ethnostates

Historically, as well as in modern times, the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana) has been proposed by many White supremacists as a location for the establishment of a White ethnostate. This Northwest Territorial Imperative was promoted by Richard Girnt Butler, Robert Miles, Robert Jay Mathews, David Lane, and Harold Covington, alongside the White supremacist terrorist organization The Order, the Neo-Nazi Christian Identity organization Aryan Nations, the White power skinhead group Volksfront, and the Northwest Front, among others. The Northwest Territorial Imperative also has loose overlap with the Cascadia independence movement, which also seeks to create an independent republic between the Northwest and parts of Northern California in the United States and British Columbia in Canada.^[3]^[4] Some in the far-right use the term American Redoubt to describe a similar migration to the Northwestern United States.^[5]

Other areas have been looked into as sites for a potential White ethnostate by certain groups. Most notably, the South has been proposed as a White ethnostate by the self-proclaimed "Southern Nationalist" League of the South (LS) due to the region's history of secessionism and its de facto independence as the Confederate States of America (1861–1865).

Another White ethnostate has been proposed by Billy Roper's Shield Wall Network (SWN), a neo-Nazi organization based in Mountain View, Arkansas. It seeks to establish a White ethnostate in the Ozark region and is affiliated with other separatist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan (KKK); the Knights Party, located near Harrison, Arkansas; the League of the South (LS); and the National Socialist Movement (NSM), a member of the now-defunct Nationalist Front.^[6] Conversely, the Ozarks have been a "hotbed" for adherents of the Christian Identity movement, including the Church of Israel and various members of the Christian Patriot movement who have set up paramilitary training camps to prepare for a coming Armageddon.^[6]^[7]^[8]

The defunct neo-Nazi organization Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP), led by Matthew Heimbach, also sought to establish a White ethnostate which it named "Avalon", based on the ideological principles of Nazism, various strands of European fascism such as Legionarism, British Fascism, and Eastern Orthodoxy.
